Much harder than it looks! Interns, staff and volunteers on the ECHO Farm spent today seining two tilapia ponds, participating in the entire fish harvesting process. The net, with weights on one end and floats on the other, stretches the width of the pond to catch as many of these tasty fish as possible. Later today, interns will weigh and process the fish fillets, tracking how many pounds of fish we raised. Are you ready to get dirty? Come join us!

ECHO

Reducing Hunger, Improving Lives, Worldwide

ECHO is much more than a farm! Founded in 1981, we are an agricultural support agency to the world. ECHO resources include a large knowledge base of specialized information, technical support based on years of experience, and an extensive seedbank focused on highly beneficial, underutilized plants. We work to identify, validate, document and disseminate best practices in sustainable agriculture and appropriate technology. ECHO creates opportunities for community leaders to network with one another to share experiences, ideas and solutions.
